'''''Wii Play''''', also known as '''''Hajimete no Wii (はじめてのWii)''''' in Japan, roughly translating to "Your First Step to Wii", is a party game developed by Nintendo as a launch title for the [[Wii]] in Japan, Europe, and Australia. It was released in North America a few months after the Wii's release and is the second game to be a part of the [[Wii series]], as well as the first entry in the [[Wii Play (series)|Wii Play series]], with a sequel named [[Wii Play Motion]] releasing in 2011.

The game is a compilation comprised of nine minigames, with most of them utilizing the player's [[Mii]] as well as other Mii saved on the player's Wii serving as NPC. The games were designed to show off the various features of the Wii Remote, most for the mini-games utilising the pointer built into it. ''Wii Play'' was developed at the same time as ''[[Wii Sports]]'', and is based on a collection of Wii demo games from E3 2006.


''Wii Play'' is a party game developed by Nintendo as a launch title for the [[Wii]] in Japan, Europe, and Australia. It was released in North America a few months after the Wii's release. The game contains nine minigames, all utilizing [[Mii]]s. The games were designed to show off the various features of the Wii Remote. ''Wii Play'' was developed at the same time as ''[[Wii Sports]]'', and is based on a collection of Wii demo games from E3 2006.
Although ''Wii Play'' received mixed reviews from critics, it became a commercial success, selling over 28 million copies worldwide,<ref>https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/en/finance/software/wii.html</ref> which could be due to the game being bundled with a Wii Remote. The game retailed for $50 in the US, while a Wii Remote retailed for $40, meaning the game itself was essentially being sold for $10.

{{Quote|Pick out the right faces from the crowd. Aim with the Wii Remote, and press {{button|wii|a}} to select.|In-game description}}
 
The second game, Find Mii, has the player attempt to locate certain Miis following a prompt. Usually, the challenge is to locate two look-alike Miis, but sometimes it's to find a specific Mii. The game starts out with a one minute timer, and 10 seconds and a few points are added for each correct challenge. When the timer runs out, the game ends and the points are tallied. Each challenge is located in one of five places: a crosswalk, a body of water, a set of escalators, outer space, or a dark room.

===Table Tennis===
{{Quote|Move the paddle to return the ball. Aim the Wii Remote at the screen to move the paddle. How many times can you rally?|In-game description}}
 
In this game, the player must point their Wii Remote at the screen to move a disembodied hand holding a paddle. The opponent is another floating hand, which is either a computer, or the second player. The player must bounce the ball back, called "rallying". As the game progresses, more Miis show up at the table to watch. The computer will gradually speed up to a certain point, and then the game will continue until a player misses the ball, or the score reaches 999. After 999 rallies, the computer will miss the ball, and the round will end. If the player misses, then the game ends and the score is posted.

{{Quote|Twist the Wii Remote to spin the Mii left and right. Switch poses by pressing {{Button|wii|a}} or {{Button|wii|b}}.|In-game description}}
 
In Pose Mii, the player must point the Wii Remote at the TV to match the Mii to a cutout. Rotating the remote rotates the Mii, and pressing {{Button|wii|a}} or {{Button|wii|b}} changes the pose of the Mii. The cutouts are located in bubbles which float down from the top of the screen. Matching the Mii to the cutout pops the bubble. If the bubbles makes it to the bottom of the screen, the game ends. Regular bubbles gain 1 point when popped, and glowing rainbow bubbles gain 3 points and freeze the bubbles for a few seconds. There are a total of 16 levels, but the player may likely never reach the later levels, due to the increased amount of bubbles. If the player gets a perfect score, additional points are rewarded. The perfect bonus starts at 5, and increases by 5 for each level. The highest possible score is 1545 points.

===Laser Hockey===
{{Quote|Hit the puck into your opponent's goal with the Wii Remote. Twist the Wii Remote left and right to rotate.|In-game description}}
In laser hockey, the player points the Wii Remote at the screen to control a rectangular puck. The goal is to bounce the puck into the opponent's goal, and prevent the puck from entering the player's own goal. The opponent can either be a player, or a CPU. The game begins with a 120 second time limit, and whoever has the most points at the end of the game wins. If the player wins the round, their score is logged on the highscore board. This means that even if the player gets a higher score than ever before, they must still win in order to set a new high score.

===Fishing===
{{Quote|Move the Wii Remote forward, back, up, down, left, and right to move the rod. When you get a nibble, pull back!|In-game description}}
In Fishing, the player controls a floating hand and fishing rod with the pointer. The object of the game is to catch fish in a pond by lowering the fishing rod into the water, and having the fish bite the rod. Pulling back on the remote pulls the fish out of the water, and gains a set number of points. The game runs for a minute{{verify}}, and then the score is tallied. Moving the Wii Remote adjusts the position of the fishing rod in the pond.
Different kinds of fish yield different set amounts of points, and also have slightly different behavior. Every so often, a random type of fish (excluding Small Fry) is selected as the "Bonus" fish, and catching it during this time will yield double points.

This article is about the video game, and should not be confused with the series of the same name.

Wii Play, also known as Hajimete no Wii (はじめてのWii) in Japan, roughly translating to "Your First Step to Wii", is a party game developed by Nintendo as a launch title for the Wii in Japan, Europe, and Australia. It was released in North America a few months after the Wii's release and is the second game to be a part of the Wii series, as well as the first entry in the Wii Play series, with a sequel named Wii Play Motion releasing in 2011.

The game is a compilation comprised of nine minigames, with most of them utilizing the player's Mii as well as other Mii saved on the player's Wii serving as NPC. The games were designed to show off the various features of the Wii Remote, most for the mini-games utilising the pointer built into it. Wii Play was developed at the same time as Wii Sports, and is based on a collection of Wii demo games from E3 2006.
